<h1>About using a Weighted List Viewer widget as a selector</h1>
<p>The grid in a Weighted List Viewer widget often consists of several 
 attributes in the column headers and the elements of those attributes 
 in the rows. You can enable these attributes and elements as selectors. 
 This allows an analyst to select an attribute or an element, and then 
 view specific data related to it in grids and graphs in the document. 
 For more information on Weighted List Viewer widgets, see 
<a href="Defining_a_Weighted_List_Viewer_widget.htm">Creating 
 a Weighted List Viewer widget</a>.</p>
<p>When you click an attribute element that is enabled as a selector, any 
 targeted grids and graphs are updated with a set of data related to the 
 attribute element. You can select elements from different attributes simultaneously 
 by clicking those elements. However, you cannot select multiple elements 
 from the same attribute.</p>
<p>Each column in the grid, including the column headers, can act as a 
 selector. When you click an attribute name displayed in a column header, 
 all elements of that attribute are selected. This overrides the selection 
 of any of the individual attribute elements within the column. The background 
 color of the attribute changes to a lighter shade to indicate that the 
 attribute is selected.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: When two or more attributes 
 in the widget are set as selectors, both of the selections occur independently 
 of each other.</p>
<p>The stacked contribution bar graph on the left side of the widget can 
 also be used as a selector. When you hover the cursor over the graph, 
 the cursor is displayed as a hand pointer to indicate that the graph is 
 a selector. Since each section of the graph represents a row in the grid, 
 the graph can be used to trigger all of the selectors enabled in the widget. 
 Clicking a section of the stacked graph updates the Grid/Graphs within 
 the dashboard with a set of data related to the attribute element you 
 clicked.</p>
<p>If only one attribute is set as a selector in the stacked graph, when 
 you click that section in the graph, the dashboard displays data for only 
 that attribute&rsquo;s elements.</p>
